[How many times has Nina thought she's heard Matthias' voice, only to realize it's a trick of the wind or wishful thinking? Too many to count. Someone is saying her name, though, and thinking it's Matthias is just stupid wishful thinking. Nina hesitates before she turns, taking a breath to calm herself. She needs to get it together.
When she sees his face, she loses her composure completely. Suddenly, she can't breathe, and she's utterly frozen in place, her eyes wide. This can't be real. Is she really so overcome by grief that she's hallucinating fully now? Is this some awful trick or illusion, courtesy of her captors?
It doesn't matter. Impossible or not, Nina finds herself taking an unsteady step forward, her voice trembling when she answers.]
OH NO
